Butter Crumble Apple Pie

I'm not sure there is a prettier word in the English dictionary than "Pie". This one word will always get everyone's attention. Especially if you're using it in a sentence of, "I think I'm gonna make some pie." Anyone within hearing distance will automatically turn their head in your direction and nod aggressively in agreement. Oh yeah, pie. Who doesn't have a special memory that involves pie? Whether it was how your Grandma or Mom lovingly prepared the perfect pie. Or the diner the next town over that makes "The. Best. Pie. Ever."

I love to eat pies and I like to make pies. And I love when I actually have the time to do up one from scratch. We go apple picking every year and I look forward to making an apple pie. But for me, I don't like my pies to be too hard or too fussy to make. Simple is the always the key word here. So here it is. An easy, and simple apple pie recipe. Nothing fancy. No specialty ingredients. The apples are the star here. Just give yourself time and patience to make it. Simple deliciousness.

I whipped this up this evening for my husbands 41st birthday...watching it bake in the oven know and it is a beautiful sight and my house smells wonderful. Used your wham bam pie crust and it was a snap to put together! I think my husband is about to fall in love with me all over again! Thank you very much for the wonderful recipe!

I am generally not a pie person, but anything with a crumb topping usually turns my head.

I had to try this recipe....OH MY GOODNESS...I made it on Saturday afternoon, and it was GONE by Sunday evening...and get this...it's the first real pie I've ever made! Thanks so much for your delicious, easy recipes!!!

Brandi, this pie caught my eye because it looks just like one of our treasured family recipes!! Nana's apple pie is a crumble topped pie like this one, and it taste incredible! There's something about apple pie that seems so wholesome and heartwarming to me! Beautiful pictures.Blessings,Leslie

I've just been given a boxful of quince by my local apple grower. Have you ever baked with them? I think they are a fruit of the past and not many people bake with them anymore. I've heard of people making jelly and pies with quince and I'm wondering if they would work in this recipe. Any thoughts?

first timed i peeled an apple and first pie i ever baked and i think i nailed it! just came out of oven and smells amazing! i could only fit 4 and a 1/2 sliced apples in my store bought pie crust though, must have bought bigger apples than yours

It was also my first time making an apple pie and crust! It turned out perfect! I brought it to our work Thanksgiving and everyone loved it, even shared the recipe with a few co workers! Thanks so much Brandie!

I "pinned" this recipe as soon as I saw it and just now printed it to add to my Thanksgiving baking. It looks so yummy, can't wait for dessert on Thursday.Thanx for this and so many of your wonderful recipes!! Happy Thanksgiving !! !!

I made this for my Thanksgiving Dinner this year, my new go to easy apple pie recipe. Thanks, it was really easy to make and I love that I dont have to make 2 crusts, and DELICIOUS. Thanks so much for sharing it!

I am excited to try this pie out, but was wondering if anyone has had success with baking and then freezing for a later date?! Any suggestions on good ways to freeze for a couple of months and then thawing out/warming up for a delicious taste would be much appreciated! Thanks.

I have not had a problem making and freezing apple pies. I make the filling- put it in the pie crust ( this is all unbaked) , wrap it up really good with plastic wrap, then wrap it in foil and put it in a freezer bag. When you want to eat it - take it out of the freezer and put the crumble topping on then and bake. I don't thaw them out before baking- you will have to add a little more time and I usually bake mine at 350. I made 6 pies like this last summer and we just ate up the last one a couple of weeks ago

Mine didn't come out quite as pretty as yours - and I think maybe there was a little too much butter in the crust (it spread quite a bit) but Oh. My. Goodness. that was the best apple pie I've ever had in my LIFE! Thank you!!!

OMG my house smells AMAZING right now!!! This pie came out gorgeous!!! Easiest recipe too. Can't wait to serve it warm later w/vanilla ice cream :) Thank you for posting the recipe, it's a definite keeper!!!!

Brandie, I must tell you that this is the BEST apple pie I've ever made and in my 73 yrs I've made a few! I also tried the crumble part of the recipe on a peach and a cherry pie - yum! You are a winner in our family, my dear! Thank you for all the great recipes... : )

Oh my goodness is this an awesome recipe!!! Soooooo easy!!! Sooooo delicious!!! I don't bake, I cant bake, but I made this pie. I actually just finished baking my 4th pie! I cheated and bought my crust. I used a mix of apples the first time. Fuji, granny smith and honey crisp. This time, hubby picked out the apples and bought only honey crisp and Fuji. Pies are gorgeous! Thanks again for ANOTHER keeper!
